This is an old campground that's certainly seen better days. if you want quiet, it certainly is that. We were assigned site 14, so when you leave the office, you must pull your RV up a VERY steep hill (at least a 15% grade) to get to your site. Our site was a back in, and was pretty out of level and also dropped a great deal in the rear, so the front of the RV was nearly on the ground.. No cable connection, and satellite would be impossible with all the trees, so we tried the digital antenna. Picked up a total of 5 stations, no major stations, and of course, 3 shopping stations, clear as a bell! There are many permanent RVs and mobile homes set up, most of which are nicely groomed. It appeared that we were the only overnighters around, which surprised us at this time of year. The location is about 10 miles south of Plymouth, where there is a great Pilgrim Museum and Plymouth Rock, and a nice shopping and restaurant area. Just an OK park for a few nights. We camped at Indianhead Resort in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: July, 2010 - $35.00
Because there are no full hookup sites I figured the single Dump Station would probably be a Zoo in the morning so thought I would Dump on the way in instead of on the way out. Was told that would cost me $20! (extra). Bizarre and definitely NOT Customer friendly. Unsurprisingly the bathroom was in poor repair (no functioning locks on stalls, toilets loose on the floor) and fairly Filthy. We will assuredly NOT return here. We camped at Indianhead Resort in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: August, 2009 - $40.00
This campground is nice and woodsy and quiet. The television reception isn't very good because of all the trees. There is only a gray water drain at the site. The office staff is extremely nice and helpful. We would definitely come back here. We camped at Indianhead Resort in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: August, 2007 - $35.00
This is a nice CG with large sites mostly back in. Lots of shade trees (could not get Sat/TV with portable dish so many trees). The site have gray water connection not sewer but they have a dump station for sewer. 30 amp hookup, they say they have 50 amp. Everything in the area was booked up an we accidentally found this CG. Would go back again. We camped at Indianhead Resort in a Fifth Wheel.

More Legroom on American ... Fleetwide?
American Airlines plans to add Main Cabin Extra seats that offer more legroom throughout its fleet. Installation starts with American's new 777-300ER planes, but the airline will equip the "vast majority" of its fleet within 18 months. Main Cabin Extra is very close to United's Economy Plus, already fleetwide on former United and Continental planes, and Delta's Economy Comfort, which is already widely available. Here are some details about Main Cabin Extra:
- American's new product is what I call "semi-premium economy," not true premium economy. That means up to six inches more legroom than regular coach class, but with the same narrow seats that aren't wide enough to accommodate some travelers comfortably at shoulder level.
- Cabin service may be the same as in ordinary economy (per United's system) or a bit better (Delta's approach); American doesn't say yet.
- Main Cabin Extra will include priority boarding, but American hasn't provided any information yet about priority check-in lines or any differences in baggage fees.
- Access to Main Cabin Extra will be at no additional charge for travelers with full-fare economy tickets and elite frequent flyers. Other travelers can buy in for $8 to $108 per flight, depending on distance. This, too, is on par with United and Delta.

jambop - Unregistered June 02, 2013 5:23 PM Do some people on here ever think about switching their brain's on before making a comment? How the F is Rossi making an excuse for his early removal from the race? If he had fallen on his own or had He taken out Bautista that would have been an excuse, having to apologise for someone else's stupidity is not making an excuse. Where Vale should be holding his hand up is in his qualifying its piss poor! Its no good having a really good race pace and qualifying 7th!!!!!!!!!! But then again its pointless making this comment because the majority of posters on this thread will have only one agenda, which highlights their shortcomings. 119 agree 20 disagree
paul joiner June 02, 2013 5:18 PM Out of all of the naysayers to Rossi's clutch problems or supposed "excuses" i ask. do you race? Have you ever been on a track? Do you know the proper line? More importantly if beaten out of the turn by a clear bike length who would agree to bautista s move. I dont race near this level but can tell you this even with ear plugs i can hear and see ( as your head is supposed to be on the swivel looking to the next turn) other riders beside me or coming up. Please dont be ignorant when making assumptive statements about who was at fault here. Its obvious. Reply Report abuse 109 agree 41 disagree

Obersturmbannführer was a paramilitary Nazi Party rank used by both the SA and the SS. It was created in May 1933 to fill the need for an additional field grade officer rank above Sturmbannführer as the SA expanded. It became an SS rank at the same time.[1] Translated as "senior assault (or storm) unit leader",[2] Obersturmbannführer was junior to Standartenführer and was the equivalent to Oberstleutnant (lieutenant colonel) in the German Army.[3] The insignia for Obersturmbannführer was four silver pips and a stripe, centered on the left collar of an SS/SA uniform.[4] The rank also displayed the shoulder boards of a Wehrmacht Oberstleutnant and was the highest SS/SA rank to display unit insignia on the opposite collar.[5]
Notable recipients[edit]
Amongst the more notorious holders of the rank of Obersturmbannführer were Rudolf Höss, Adolf Eichmann, Herbert Kappler and Joachim Peiper. Höss was commandant of the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp, whilst Eichmann is generally regarded as a key architect of the Nazis' Endlösung (Final Solution) policy in which Auschwitz played so major a role. Herbert Kappler was the head of German police and security services (Oberbefehlshaber des Sicherheitspolizei und SD) in Rome who conducted the infamous Ardeatine massacre. Joachim Peiper was the commander of the eponymous Kampfgruppe responsible for the Malmedy massacre during the December 1944 Battle of the Bulge.[6]
Eichmann was promoted to Obersturmbannführer in 1940 and was listed as such in the minutes of the Wannsee Conference that began the Endlösung. During Eichmann's trial for war crimes in 1962, chief prosecutor Gideon Hausner drew attention to the significance and responsibility of Eichmann's Obersturmbannführer rank when, in response to Eichmann's claim that he was merely a clerk obeying orders, Hausner asked him, "Were you an Obersturmbannführer or an office girl?"[citation needed]
In Eichmann in Jerusalem, however, Hannah Arendt disputes the notion that Obersturmbannführer was a rank of significance, pointing out that Eichmann spent the war "dreaming" about promotion to Standartenführer. Arendt also points out that "... people like Eichmann, who had risen from the ranks, were never permitted to advance beyond a lieutenant colonel [i.e., the rank of Obersturmbannführer] except at the front."[7]

Columbia's marijuana ordinances could come under fire from the federal government because of Monday's U.S. Supreme Court ruling on medical marijuana.
In the case Gonzales v. Raich, the court ruled in a 6-3 decision that federal laws prohibiting the use of marijuana under any circumstance override laws that states or cities may have passed.
"This decision gives the stamp of approval that the federal government trumps the states on (medical marijuana)," said Rick Hardy, MU political science professor and constitutional law expert.
The decision does not invalidate any of the laws passed by the 10 states or the numerous laws passed by cities. Anyone caught possessing marijuana, however, could be prosecuted under federal jurisdiction.
Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who wrote the majority opinion in the case, said the circumstance of the two ill California women does not invalidate the Controlled Substance Act.
"The Controlled Substances Act is a valid exercise of federal power," Stevens wrote.
Similar to Missouri state law, a federal conviction of marijuana possession carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison and a $1,000 fine, with similar punishments for higher degrees of violation, possession or sale.
However, the federal government does not have a probation program like the states, so any sentence must be fully carried out in a federal prison.
Dan Viets, local attorney and board member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the ruling will not affect the ordinance passed last November by Columbia voters.
"The important thing to remember about this decision is it maintains the status quo," Viets said. "It does not invalidate any medical marijuana laws."
Proposition 1, which passed by 71 percent in November , does not legalize medical marijuana but reduces the penalty to a $50 fine. The law is similar to Proposition 2, the marijuana decriminalization ordinance which passed by 61 percent and reduces the penalty for general marijuana possession of 35 grams and less.
The decriminalization ordinance has been under scrutiny since it passed. The Columbia Police Officers Association is petitioning to attempt to repeal the ordinance while several members on both sides of the issue are working on a compromise.
Viets said 95 percent or more prosecutions for marijuana are handled by the states. Although there is a risk the federal government can prosecute an individual for violating the law, the risk is very low.
"People who are using marijuana medically are not likely to be targeted for federal prosecution," Viets said.
Hardy said he was not sure how the ordinance would be affected, but that the state would likely decide how to handle Columbia's medical marijuana ordinance.
Hardy said the ruling did not come as a surprise. Prior rulings by the court regarding the central issues of federalism and the United States Constitution's commerce clause, which deals with interstate economic interchanges, set precedent for this case.
"What we are seeing is an erosion of state autonomy," Hardy said. "In the past, (medical marijuana) would be the issues of state governments. Since the New Deal, we have seen massive growth the federal government compared to the states."
Hardy also said any decision by the court takes some time to filter through the various governments. It will be up to the Attorneys General of each state to decide how to interpret the ruling.
The Missouri Attorney General's office said Jay Nixon's current position on the law has not yet changed since this ruling.
Viets said the court said Congress was able to change the law regarding medical marijuana, and his organization would be working on several U.S. House bills to get a federal law passed protecting medical marijuana.
"I think it really makes it clear that Congress needs to act on this issue," Viets said.

Instead, fans - of music, not football per se - crammed into Fitz' snug downstairs room to catch a set from Chicago buzz band Smith Westerns.
It's tough to write about Smith Westerns and not at least acknowledge their tender ages; none of the band could so much as (legally) enjoy a beer onstage when their self-titled debut album was released in 2009. In fact, they still can't. Smith Westerns introduced the band's lo-fi gritty-yet-glam sound; the album was fittingly recorded in an actual basement, which is maybe as close to defining true "garage rock" as it gets.
Aftermath had seen Smith Westerns' show at last year's Pitchfork Music Festival and noted that, although they played a strong set, their age and 'rookie-ness' showed. The band needed time.
Fast-forward seven months (which is like, years to teenagers) and Smith Westerns are now touring in support of their sophomore release, last month's Dye It Blonde. The record continues where Smith Westerns left off: It's fuzzy and grainy, and full of glam-rock guitar tones; however, Blonde's tracks appear more polished than their predecessors, while successfully managing to preserve the band's grit and youthful abandon.
Naturally, we were curious whether this progress would transfer live, especially since it's been announced the band will support alt-rock deities Wilco on their upcoming tour.
The fresh-faced foursome kicked off their set with Blonde track "Still New," an evident Ziggy Stardust nod with a singsong melody and wailing guitar riff. Front man Cullen Omori donned a psychedelic-print button-down, his tousled hair covering his face as he sang; the get-up seemed to only confirm his palpable '70s influences a la Bowie and T. Rex.
Omori led the band, with limited banter, through a solid set of mostly new tracks, with a sprinkling of older additions like "Dreams," "Tonight," and Smith standout "Girl in Love." "Weekend" shone, with its efficiently divergent vocal harmonies, sunny chorus, and distorted guitars.

Sleep has been a subject of intense interest to poets and mystics and is
found in folklore since antiquity. Only in the last half a century have scien-
tists and physicians attempted a systematic study of the biology and disor-
ders of sleep. Within the past four decades remarkable advances in the neu-
rophysiology of normal sleep and in circadian biology and the discovery of
the genes that regulate these biological rhythms have provided a scientific
framework for the elucidation of the etiology, pathogenesis, and potential
treatment of sleep disorders. These scientific advances and input from many
clinical disciplines such as internal medicine, neurology, nursing, oto-
laryngology, pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, and pulmonology have
enriched the study and management of sleep pathology. However, the broad
intellectual and service requirements for dealing with sleep has created diffi-
culties in coordination and planning of research and clinical services. Recog-
nition of around 90 distinct clinical disorders of sleep has created a platform
and need for specialization in the study of sleep (somnology) and sleep pa-
thology. Accordingly, professional societies such as the American Academy
of Sleep Medicine, the American Sleep Apnea Association, the National Sleep
Foundation, and the Sleep Research Society have been established and the
discipline has been recognized by the American Board of Medical Special-
ties. Moreover, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) formed the National
Center on Sleep Disorders Research (NCSDR) to coordinate research in
sleep. Although these developments are positive, they do not yet fully ad-
dress the scope and depth of the public and individual health consequences
of sleep deprivation and sleep disorders. For example, more than 50 million
Americans suffer a chronic sleep disorder and many others experience dis-

ruption of normal daytime activities owing to sleep deprivation. Sadly, the
majority of individuals with substantial sleep disorders are not diagnosed
and appropriately treated.
In recognition of the limited appreciation of the importance of sleep
disorders and sleep deprivation for individuals and the public health, the
American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the NCSDR at the NIH, the Na-
tional Sleep Foundation, and the Sleep Research Society requested that the
Institute of Medicine (IOM) do the following:
1. Review and quantify the public health significance of sleep health,
sleep loss, and sleep disorders, including assessments of the contribution of
sleep disorders to poor health, reduced quality of life, and early mortality, as
well as the economic consequences of sleep loss and sleep disorders.
2. Identify gaps in the public health system relating to the understand-
ing, management, and treatment of sleep loss and sleep disorders and assess
the adequacy of the current resources and infrastructure for addressing the
3. Identify barriers to and opportunities for improving and stimulating
multi- and interdisciplinary research and education in sleep medicine and
biology. Delineate organizational models that will promote and facilitate
sleep research in the basic sciences, collaborative research between basic
scientists, clinicians, and population scientists in relevant specialties, and
education of practitioners and scientists in sleep health, sleep disorders, and
sleep research.
4. Develop a comprehensive plan for enhancing sleep medicine and sleep
research for improving the public's health.
In response, the IOM appointed a 14-member committee with expertise
in pulmonology, cardiology, nursing, neurology, pediatrics, adolescent medi-
cine, psychiatry, epidemiology, public health, otolaryngology, academic and
medical administration, and health sciences research. The committee met
five times during the course of its work and held two workshops. In addi-
tion, the committee received input from relevant federal, private, and non-
profit organizations.
Our findings confirmed the enormous public health burden of sleep
disorders and sleep deprivation and the strikingly limited capacity of the
health care enterprise to identify and treat the majority of individuals suffer-
ing sleep problems.
The direct effects of sleep disorders as well as the comorbidity with
other substantial public health problems such as obesity, diabetes, stroke,
and depression have a profound economic and social impact. Only minimal
estimates of the economic impact of sleep disorders and their derivative
consequences are possible because of underrecognition and underreporting.
OCR for page R1
At a minimum, however, the total direct and indirect cost of sleep disorders
and sleep deprivation in the United States is hundreds of billions of dollars.
The magnitude of the effect of sleep pathology is shocking even to experts in
the field of somnology and sleep medicine. We found that there are too few
professionals dedicated to sleep problems to meet the size and importance of
the problem and there are too few educational programs that have the po-
tential to increase the workforce of health care practitioners and scientists to
meet even current demands. In addition, research that will advance our un-
derstanding of sleep pathology and its treatment has been underfunded. We
therefore have outlined recommendations to address these shortcomings, in
the hope that the burden of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation can be
minimized. These recommendations fall into four broad categories: educa-
tion (public, professional); technology; coordination of research initiatives
at the NIH; and organization of research, clinical care, and education in
academic health centers.
The lack of public awareness should prompt a multimedia public edu-
cation campaign that also targets elementary, middle, and high school stu-
dents as well as undergraduate college health education programs about the
impact of inadequate sleep.
Professional education will be enhanced by integrating the teaching of
sleep medicine and biology into medical, nursing, and pharmacology cur-
ricula and into residency and specialty fellowships. Strategies to facilitate
careers in somnology will be needed to meet the demand for sound science
and expert clinical capacity to take care of the health problems related to
sleep disorders.
The cumbersome nature and cost of diagnosis and treatment of sleep
disorders and sleep loss will require research to develop and validate the
efficacy of advances in diagnostic technologies, including ambulatory moni-
toring and imaging as well as the development of new therapeutic options
for specific sleep disorders.
The NCSDR at the NIH should take a more proactive role in promoting
integration of research disciplines pertinent to somnology and sleep dis-
orders, and it should promote training programs that increase the pipeline
of highly qualified investigators. Together with other federal agencies, the
OCR for page R1
xii PREFACE
NCSDR can support increased public awareness and generation of more
reliable prevalence data.
Within academic health centers new and existing sleep programs should
be organized as Interdisciplinary Sleep Programs that encompass the rel-
evant basic and clinical disciplines. The complexity of these programs will
vary in accord with the capacity and goals of each center; therefore, we have
proposed several different models. Networking among the most complex of
these programs will facilitate research progress and accelerate implementa-
tion of new clinical strategies with help from the NCSDR.
The committee has been fortunate in having superb support from IOM
staff and willing consultants in related fields. Without their help this report
could not have been completed. We are most grateful.

This paper describes findings from the Penceil Project which aims to explore the experiences of non and minimal users of ICTs, how non-use affects their inclusion or exclusion from society and how they can learn to use ICTs to meet their personal goals. The paper considers the applicability of the Technology Adoption Model (TAM) to understanding the experiences of this group of people. By looking at theories of social exclusion and the project research findings to date the paper argues that TAM: is limited in the range of social conditions it anticipates; and, thus, presumes a facility in formulating aspirations for use that people excluded from the use of ICTs do not have. We consider the implications of these conclusions for designing a revised Basic ICT curriculum and describe a new curriculum based on the research findings. We argue that, as ICTs in general – and internet use in particular – are experienced technologies, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use will have to be re-formulated to recognise limitations on people's ability to construct plans for future action since an actor's world is disclosed through action not given in advance.
